Wtf is a “Seven o’clock man”? I’ve lived in Canada most of my life (5 provinces and counting), and in Uni lived with a couple people doing folklore degrees. The fact that I’ve never heard of our national Boogie man tells me they’re reaching.
Googled it. French-Canadian story dating from 19th century maybe. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. And the article was American.
Am French-Canadian raised, i remember the Seven o’clock man. It was used as a bedtime rule, something about being in bed before 7 or the man gets you. Never heard it in english tho, it was always “Bonhomme sept heures”.
That would make sense. It has a modern feel to it too - clocks weren’t a common household item until the last 150 years or so.
